Storm Drain Repair
Broken or damaged storm drain inlets as shown above may not only prevent the proper drainage of the pavement, but may also create “trip” hazards as well as potential traffic hazards. Left un-repaired, the broken drains expose the property owner to unnecessary liability.

The 1^st step in repairing a drain is to sawcut a square line in the pavement around the perimeter of the drain. Normally this would extend 2 feet beyond the edge of the drain in all directions. The material around the drain would be excavated and removed from the site.

The casting would be removed so as to assess the damage to the structure. If the structure is made of brick and mortar, the damaged or missing bricks would be replaced.

If the damage is too severe, it may be necessary to remove the existing structure and install a pre-cast concrete box. In either situation, it is important to repair any connecting pipes and permanently seal the connections to the structure. The steel casting is then set on the structure and the area is backfilled. After the material is properly compacted the asphalt is applied as outlined in the full depth repair procedure (click here to go to the Excavation page).
